MoP : what to do during the beta

[Nyarly]

Hi,
I think it would be nice if we share ideas on where to go exploring in the beta.

I took the minimap picture of pandaria and circled places where i found strange textures. I also did some paint spray where textures looked weird but could be natural.




For the wandering island i don't have a minimap picture of it yet but i think we will be easily able to go under it.
(Will we have flying mounts on the new area ?)


Also, the places i often check. I'll check them again even if they didn't say they were going to be released with MoP :

- quel thalas Quel'Thalas - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
- kul tiras Kul Tiras - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
- sargera's tomb Tomb of Sargeras - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
- Plunder Isle (or whatever the name of the pirate's island) Plunder Isle - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
- Deathwing Lair and warsong clan island Deathwing's Lair - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
- Karazhan crypts
- Ahn Qiraj terrace (mapid 727 ?)
- STV_Mine_BG and the other one (probably when we'll have a sandbox)
- Old gold under Undercity
- Development/Abyssal Maw ?
- Seas/Map Symbols : on a 4.0.6 skyfireemu server i went everywhere under the sea and under every map symbols and found nothing really exciting. I still think we should do that on new seas and symbols.

So do you guys have any plans for the beta ?

And for those who missed my post, i can share my account.

I don't have a beta invite yet but i have the annual pass so it should come eventually. I might use it a lot but i'll log off sometimes to let you try it too (pm me here if you want me to log off when i'm using it, if i'm not using it feel free to log in without asking).
And i'm banned for another 24 hours so it's won't be avaliable today atleast..

I am signed up for the Annual Pass and just awaiting my invite. I am very exited about the expansion and the Beta. But flying mounts will not be available on Pandaria until LV 90... and also I am not sure they will be available at all on the wandering Turtle island.

I will be trying the usual... going right down the list of my Exploration Tutorial.... blinking and Darkmoon Tigers though walls... Giant-Growth or Mounting in the tight spots... DCing through instance portals to look for instanced zones outside of the instances and generally trying to break out of them (if instances are available in the Beta).... wall-climbing up the mountains in non-flying areas and rocket-booting my ass to the tops of buildings... all the typical explorer stuff.

While I am interested in the 'funny texture' areas you point out on the Pandaria maps...I know that flying will eventually be allowed there so I don't expect much on the surface. I am more interested in Turtle Island, and praying that flying is not allowed there ever... the mountainous areas in non-flying zones are always very interesting to me...

Don't expect anything interesting in the mountains of the Turtle Island. At least in the pre-alpha, there was nohing noteworthy there. And the Island was almost complete at that stage.

What do you consider 'noteworthy'? I'm a big fan of empty space...

[eSko]

Well, then you shall be satisfied

I've found some funny things while datamining

Apparently there's a ton of new instances, we'll have stuff to do i think

Doh, i didn't know about flying mounts, it will ruin the fun in pandaria .. Unless we can't have them on the beta !

[Teryaki]

I have the annual pass as well. I will be looking for stuff when I get the invite. Will there be a thread that we should post to so we don't flood the forums with MoP stuff, when it isn't released on retail servers yet? Just a suggestion for those who did not get into the beta, so they can browse though the retail stuff and not be bothered by MoP.

EDIT: I am also interested in getting together on one of the servers as well (if that is possible) and explore with some of my fellow explorers. I am currently at school doing my finals, but should be logging in as soon as I get the invite from Blizzard. PM me and I will get back as soon as possible. Hopping to be playing tonight!

I wonder when the sandbox will be out or if it will be out. the last sandbox I used was the BC one. anyway I think we need a new forum for MoP beta because a lot of people have the AP.
has anyone inspected the 5.0.1 protocol?

Im doin it

I didn't see it elsewhere so here is the minimap for the turtle island:

Don't seem to be much to explore even in the mountains. I can only see one black dot that might be worth it near the head.

To visit water around the turtle, DC Macro can be used. Don't work for DC but when you spam it, you lag and can pass throw suddendeath.
But nothing interesting to see

Warning, when you go under water near the isle, you instant die / tp cim. But under water far away (white ground) don't kill you.

Yes to that !
Do you have a list of the servers or anyone favorite ?

Nice ! I cut the white parts because they were empty, i didn't know that was ground though.

I am still waiting for an invite, not sure when the AP wave will hit me. I believe there are 4 servers currently up, don't know the names yet.
